Chuma Xian (Shamanic Spirit Mediumship in Chinese Folk Tradition)

In Chinese shamanic and folk spiritual traditions, there exists a unique practice known as Chuma Xian (出马仙). Literally meaning “immortals who go forth on duty”, it refers to deities or spirit guides who choose to work through a human medium, assisting them in offering guidance, healing, and divination to others.

This tradition is rooted in Northeast Chinese shamanism, where spiritual practitioners act as bridges between the human and the spirit world. A person called by the spirits may undergo initiation, and once they accept the role, the Chuma Xian spirits are believed to empower them with abilities such as:

• Divination and destiny guidance

• Healing and protection rituals

• Feng Shui and energy alignment practices

• Spiritual communication and ancestral guidance

(Four Pillars of Destiny)

BaZi, literally “Eight Characters”, is a core system of Chinese metaphysics used to analyze a person’s destiny. It is based on the year, month, day, and hour of birth, with each pillar consisting of a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, making a total of eight characters. By studying these patterns, practitioners can gain insights into:

Personality and character traits

Life cycles and opportunities

Career, relationships, and health trends

Optimal timing for decisions and actions

BaZi is considered a map of life energy, revealing patterns and influences rather than fixed fate. It helps people understand themselves, anticipate challenges, and make conscious choices to navigate life more effectively.

Qi Men Dun Jia, is one of the most profound systems of Chinese metaphysics.

• Life and destiny analysis

• Business and strategic planning

• Timing and date selection

• Feng Shui and energy alignment

• Rapid prediction based on observations (numbers, events, or objects)

• Flexible and practical for daily decision-making

• Integration of intuition and classical I Ching principles

Meihua Yishu is valued for its simplicity, speed, and accuracy, making it a powerful tool for analyzing life events, personal decisions, and future trends. It emphasizes understanding patterns and underlying energies, helping people make informed choices in alignment with natural and cosmic laws.

(Six Lines Divination)

Liu Yao, is a traditional method of Chinese divination derived from the I Ching (Book of Changes). In this system, a hexagram composed of six lines—each either yin (broken) or yang (unbroken)—is generated to provide insights into a specific question or situation. Key aspects of Liu Yao include:

• Predicting outcomes for personal, professional, and relational matters

• Analyzing changing energies and patterns over time

• Offering guidance to make informed decisions based on the flow of circumstances

Liu Yao emphasizes understanding dynamic processes and transformations rather than fixed fate, helping practitioners interpret events and make conscious, strategic choices.
